"START WITH A SIMPLE WORD"


Like the word fly,
It can take you high,
With a breathless sigh,
As you take to the sky.

Then there's the word bye,
It can cause you to cry,
A tear in your eye,
That will eventually dry.

It is hard not to be shy,
As you meet a new guy,
And simply say " Hi ",
As he stares at your thigh.

Lay on the beach and fry,
To get a tan without dye,
Burned as you now lie,
Asking yourself why.

Thinking that you are sly,
A lemon pie you buy,
Baking you don't try,
Pretend you made the pie.

A simple word will imply,
An abundance of supply,
In your mind nearby,
If you must, then retry.
